             McCAIN-PALIN WILL BRING REAL CHANGE TO AMERICA

  (Mrs. MILLER of Michigan asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. MILLER of Michigan. Mr. Speaker, over the past 2 weeks, we have 
seen both parties' commitment to change on full display.
  Barack Obama had the opportunity to make an historic choice and 
choose Hillary Clinton to join his ticket. But, oh, no. The ``Old Boy 
Network'' won out and Senator Obama went back on his commitment to 
change and reform by choosing a Senator who has been in Washington for 
over three decades.

support you have, someone will always stand in your way, regardless of 
paying lip service.
  Contrast that with the choice made by Senator John McCain. He chose a 
strong woman to join with him to bring real change to Washington. From 
the PTA to the city council to the mayor of Wassilla to the Governor of 
Alaska, Sarah Palin has broken down the Old Boy Network, rooted out 
corruption, cut taxes, reduced spending, and brought real change to 
government. And now we see Senator Obama and his Democratic allies 
trying to tear her down and destroy another strong woman.
  But the women of America will not be fooled and they will not be held 
back any longer. John McCain and Sarah Palin will bring change and 
reform to Washington and will finally shatter that seemingly 
unbreakable glass ceiling.
